We Manage Every Step of Your Car Accident Claim
When you hire Heras Law Firm as your car accident attorney, we step to build a claim that holds up when the insurance company questions what happened or what your injury is worth
Our work includes:
- Communicating with insurance companies for you
- Reviewing coverage and identifying potential sources of compensation
- Collecting evidence like police reports, photos, and witness information
- Requesting and organizing medical records and billing
- Documenting how the injury affects your daily life and your work
- Negotiating for a fair resolution
- Preparing the case for litigation when needed
What Heras Law Firm Can Do for Your Car Accident Injury Claim
A strong personal injury claim is built with documentation and careful planning. That means gathering the facts early and making sure your injury and treatment are clearly supported.
Here’s what we focus on:
- Evidence & Fault. We collect key documents like police reports, photos, video when available, and witness details. If fault is disputed, we look for what will support your version of events.
- Medical Records & Injury Documentation. Insurance companies often minimize injuries that don’t show up on an X-ray. We help document your injury history, symptoms, treatment, and medical recommendations in a way that supports your claim.
- Damages. Your claim may include economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Negotiation. We present the claim with evidence and supporting records, then negotiate with the insurance company. If settlement talks break down, we talk to you honestly about whether filing a lawsuit makes sense. Our goal is to make sure you’re not pressured into a quick result that doesn’t cover your real losses.
We Protect You Against Insurance Company Tactics After a Car Crash
Insurance companies often approach claims in ways that reduce payouts. Some tactics are subtle. Some are direct. Either way, it helps to have legal representation early so you don’t get boxed into a bad position.
Common tactics we help defend our clients against include:
- Early Settlement Offers. These offers can come before you understand the full cost of treatment. Once you accept, you may not be able to return for more later, even if your condition worsens.
- Recorded Statements. Adjusters sometimes ask questions that can be used to shift blame or downplay your injuries. We handle communication so you don’t have to manage these calls on your own.
- Disputes About Medical Treatment. Insurers may argue that treatment was unnecessary or unrelated. We focus on records and timelines that clearly support your claim.
- Comparative Negligence. Nevada uses modified comparative negligence rules. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, although the amount may be reduced. If you are 51% or more at fault, your claim may be barred. This is why fault arguments need to be handled carefully from the beginning.
How Deadlines Affect Your Car Accident Claim
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. That means you must file a lawsuit within that time frame or risk losing the right to pursue compensation.
There are some exceptions, but those should be evaluated case by case. Waiting too long can also mean losing key evidence, losing track of witnesses, or creating gaps in medical records that insurers will point to later.
Even if you’re not sure you want to file a lawsuit, getting legal advice early helps protect your options. We would be happy to help answer your questions.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Claims: What We Do When Coverage Is Limited
Nevada requires minimum liability insurance coverage, but minimum policies often don’t cover the true costs of a serious injury. Some drivers have no insurance at all.
If the driver who hit you is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to seek compensation through your own policy if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
These claims can still be challenging. Even though it’s your own insurer, the company may dispute the extent of your injuries or the value of the claim.
We help you:
- Review your coverage
- File the claim properly
- Document injuries and damages
- Respond to disputes and delays
- Negotiate toward a fair result
